TERMS OF BUSINESS 
Customers are requested to send cash with order or else furnish satisfactory references. If this is 
not done, we will assume that our customer wishes to pay cash on delivery, and, in consequence, the 
goods will be sent forward C.O.D. 
Post Office Money Orders, Bank Drafts, Express Money Orders or Registered Letters are acceptable, and 
we must disclaim all responsibility when remittances are made in any other way. All cheques, etc., 
should be drawn in favour of “Carters Tested Seeds, Inc.” 
The prices quoted in this catalogue are those prevailing at this date and are subject to change without 
notice. All terms of payment are net cash. 
Purchasers should order early to ensure a prompt, seasonable shipment of their goods. Do not wait until 
season is far advanced; send your order in now for future shipment. All orders should be written 
separately from general letters or letters of inquiry. Write the name and address in full, also be particular 
to give the number of street or Post Office Box when goods are to be sent by mail, and when ordering 
goods forwarded by express or freight state clearly the express or freight station. 
When orders are accompanied by cash we deliver free to any Post Office, Express Office, or Freight 
Station, all vegetable and flower seed orders at the packet, ounce, quarter pound, half pound, and pound 
prices, also bulbs at the single and dozen rates, except where otherwise noted. Purchasers must pay 
transit on pint, quart, pock, and bushel lots, also on plants, bulbs, tools, fertilizers, and insecticides, etc., 
unless otherwise noted. All f.o.b. Shipping Point. 
All Bags, Boxes, Cases and packing materials used on all express and freight shipments will be charged 
for at net, cost. 
Please notify us of any change of Permanent Address, in order that we may be able to forward our 
Catalogues with regularity. The favour of your kind recommendation of our House to those of your 
friends requiring Seeds for the Garden or Farm, or Plants and Bulbs for the Garden or Conservatory, is 
respectfully solicited. We shall be pleased, at all times, to forward our Catalogues to any address we 
may be favoured with. 
Any proper letter of inquiry will receive our careful attention and be answered promptly, but our friends 
will favour us by stating all questions clearly and briefly and not using the order sheet. 
All letters are opened under directions of one of our principals, and the orders executed under careful 
supervision. Customers should always retain a true copy of the order sent to us. 
It is our earnest desire that all requirements and directions of customers be scrupulously attended to by 
our assistants, and we practice the utmost personal supervision to see that they are carried out. We there- 
fore respectfully request that we be informed if at any time there is cause for dissatisfaction, that we 
may have it rectified at the earliest possible moment. 
On all orders properly packed and shipped but cancelled in transit we will allow, on their .being returned, 
full credit less 10%. This amount we charge to cover our loss of time and material in handling and 
packing. 
If orders returned for credit are found, on examination, to be wholly or in part damaged or a loss 
through customer’s neglect the customer shall be held responsible for the full amount of damage or loss 
sustained. 
Glass, Pottery, and other goods liable to breakage are sent out securely packed, but beyond that we cannot 
be responsible for damage in transit. Notice of damage should be at once made to, and compensation 
claimed from the express or freight companies which delivered the article. Never sign for goods damaged 
in transit. 
We guarantee our Seeds and Bulbs according to the quality purchased to be of the highest average stand- 
ard of vitality of the season, and it is open to the purchaser to confirm this by submitting the samples to 
professional analysis at his own expense. We cannot, however, be in any way responsible for the produce 
of Seeds sold under this guarantee, and while we exercise the greatest care to have all seeds, bulbs and 
plants true to name, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, 
or any other matter, and will not be held responsible for the crop; and it must therefore be clearly under- 
stood that our responsibility ceases upon the final acceptance of the goods. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms and conditions, they must be returned at once.
